Case Study

Equipping Sanyo to meet fluctuating consumer demand

The idea

Better collaboration and quicker decision making to address fluctuating consumer demand.

The client

Sanyo is the world’s leading manufacturer of rechargeable batteries. Headquartered in Japan, Sanyo has operations in North America, Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific.

The business challenge

8 locations in 5 countries, with 3 languages (English, Taiwanese and Mandarin) were involved in inter-company transactions in the Asia Pacific. Each location followed their own business process model, capturing data differently in disparate AS400 legacy systems. The market is characterized by widely fluctuating demand cycles. Slow decision making meant Sanyo was unable to respond to changes in consumer demand quickly. This in turn led to cost inefficiencies across business units in the region.

The solution

Sanyo’s long term objective was to enable quick and effective management decision-making across their batteries and cell operations.

Business benefits

	Consistent and standardized understanding of cost component structures across all implementation locations
